Software Quality Assurance - Project Frontend

CSCI3060U Project - Frontend

Introduction

The Front End reads in a file of items available for auction and a file containing information regarding current user accounts in the system, it processes a stream of item bidding and advertising transactions one at a time, and it writes out a file of item bidding and advertising transactions at the end of the session.

Compiling

When using premake5 with gmake, specify a compiler of your choice (gcc or clang) with the option --cc=COMPILER or the system default will be used.

Building on Mac OSX

• Open a terminal in project root
• Run bin/premake5_macosx --file=premake5.lua gmake to generate the makefiles.
• Run cd build to go to the output directory
• Run make all to build the program frontend

Building on Linux

• Open a terminal in project root
• Run bin/premake5_linux --file=premake5.lua gmake to generate the makefiles.
• Run cd build to go to the output directory
• Run make all to build the program frontend

Building on Windows (Cygwin)

• Open a Cygwin terminal in project root
• Run bin/premake5_windows.exe --file=premake5.lua gmake to generate the makefiles.
• Run cd build to go to the output directory
